Free-roaming ferret destroys 28-year-old woman's $900 silk dress, best friend refuses to take responsibility for her pet and pay for the damage: “Her lawyer dad sent me a letter saying I'm liable for damages"

We all know a Cat Dad or a Dog Mom, but there isn't a fun, parental name for those quirky individuals who choose to keep unusual pets. If I am not mistaken, there are no Rabbit Aunts, Snake Uncles, or Tarantula Godparents. I knew a girl in college who kept roaches. They weren't the kind you'd find under your floorboards or something; they were Madagascar Hissing Roaches – a variety of cockroach that is known to be quite docile. For some, this insect is a pest, for others a pet, and for chameleon-owners, a food source for their lizard.

In our story today, a mid-20s woman lets her unusual pet – a ferret – run amok during girls nights. His free-roaming presence has never caused an issue before, but when he spots a silky, satin dress, he cannot control himself, and he jumps on the shiny fabric. The dress tears, and its owner demands that our protagonist pay her back $900. Internet commenters are pretty split on who is at fault in this case. Scroll down to read the full story and debate.

Why does our protagonist sound so judgemental over her friend's attire? She said she didn't have to go and change after a date. If our protagonist has been acting this dismissive and callous, it's no wonder that the friend is reacting disproportionately.

While paying the full $900 is really excessive, our protagonist should take accountability for her pet's behavior and pay some amount.
